Overview

The inspiration for this application is rooted in a custom application that I needed to understand how to implement a color picker in Java. The results from following the tutorial from Awais has provided a great opportunity to continue working with JavaFX and the MVC pattern.

The challenge

Users should be able to:

• Create a custom sized canvas
• Change the brush size
• Adjust the color using a color picker

My process

Built with

• Java
• JavaFX
  • XML

What I learned

I learned how to use the Color Picker from JavaFX to draw on the Java Canvas, and got a little introduction to the MVC pattern.

Continued development

I would like to add more functionality to the application:

• Different brush shapes
• A history of changes (undo, redo)
• Better UI
